List of Toronto Running Clubs:

Toronto Running Club: Exactly what it sounds like. Join this group in the Eglinton-Lawrence area Wednesdays and Saturdays for medium and long-distance routes.

And don’t be fooled, experienced runners can also benefit with their advanced workshops and running clubs.

But hey, running clubs are supposed to be social, aren’t they? That’s why I think some of the best running clubs in Toronto these days are actually on social media. So, let me present…

The Best Toronto Running Clubs on Facebook?

In the last year or so, some great running clubs have popped up on Facebook. The best part about these is that you can easily join the groups before attending the runs to get all the details and ask any questions you might have about the run clubs. Here are some of my favourites that you might want to check out:

Nike+ Run Club Toronto: Nike has done a great job building a community of runners and joggers in Toronto. Join the group and get going! They have multiple runs each week that start from various downtown locations. If you’re not on Facebook, you can check out their Toronto Run Club website to sing-up for upcoming runs.

RunTOBeers: This is probably the most fun run club in Toronto. If you’re looking to stretch your legs, meet great people and have a few beers, then this is the run club for you. Runs are 10km, 5km and 3km, multiple times each week. Check the group for upcoming run details. Maybe I’ll see you there (and feel free to buy me a beer)!

LuLuLemon Run Crew: The good folks at LuLu do a good job putting together events of different types and lengths. Plus, they know how to have fun. So check out the Facebook group for any upcoming runs.

West Toronto Pacers: This West-End running group has over 100 runners on Facebook. Join them for runs, speed work and pub nights. Their structured workouts are sure to help you improve your running speed. You can also visit their website for more information.
